To Our Renders.

We cannot too strongly urge upon our
readers the necessity of subscribing for
family weekly newspaper of the filst class
such, for instance, as The Independent, OF
New York. Were we obliged to select one
publication for habitual and careful reading
to the exclusion of all others, we should
choose unhesitatingly The Independent. 1t
is a newspaper, magazine, and review, all in
one. It is religious, literary, an edu-
cational, story, an art, ascientific, an ag-
ricultural, financial, and political paper
combined. It has 80 folio pages and 81 de-
partments. No matter what persons
religion, politics or profession may be, no
matter what the age, sex, employment OF
condition may be, The Independent will
prove help, an instructor, an educator. Oui
readers can do no less than to send postal
for free specimen copy, or for thirty cents
the paper will be sent month, enabling one
to Judge of its merits more critically. Iti
yearly subscription in $500, or two Years fol-
$500.
Those who desise to subscribe for tn
American Agriculturist as we'll as The In
dependent cannot make a better bargain
than by accepting The Independents offe
to send both papers for one year for the sun
of $375. Each subscriber will thus saw
seyenty-fye cents on the two papers.
Address. The Independent, 25l Broadway

" The campaign is over, and now that 1t
is closed, we wish to return our thanks (p) to
those citizens, some of them dead beats,
many of them scalawags, and few of them
claiming to be respectable citizens. who
worked so hard to convince their neighbors
that the editor of this paper was a thief and
perjurer. To all such we wish to pay our
respects, and now publicly brand them as
falsifers and towards, wholly devoid of
all truth and decency. We have lived among
the people of Henry county for the past
fifteen years, have managed to pay our honest
debts and tried to carry on an honorable
business, and how well we have succeeded We
are willing to be judged by the good people
of this county, outside of the busybodiet
we have referred to.

ON THE WHEEL!
What 'Round-the-World Stevens and
Champion Howell Say of the
Sport.

The popularity of Cycling is growing.
Thomas Stevens, who has just been
around the globe on wheel says that
the best roads in the world are found in
British India. The Grand Trunk road
is l 900 miles, an unbroken highway of
marvellous perfection, from Pershawar
on the Afghan frontier to Calcutta. It
is made of smooth, hard, natural con-
crete, beds of which lie along the line.
How such roads would be appreciated
by the enthusiastic 'cyclers of this
country!
The wonderful achievement of Mr..
Stevens, in the face of myriad dangers,
entities him to all his honors.
The fast riding champion of the
world, however, is Richard Howell, Of
Leicester, England. He is splendidly
made fellow, between 25 and so years Of
age, six feet high, aud weighing, In
training, about 100 pounds.
!, He commenced riding in 1879 and in
! 1881, at Belgravia grounds, Leicester,
he won the one mile championship OF
the world, beating all the best men of
the day.
4 From that time his career has been
one OF almost unbroken successes. He
came to the United States in 1884 and
1885, and at the great Springfield
tournament in 1885, won seven out Of
eight races.
In the Cycling Nesos Eng.,) Octobe
lst, 1887, is the following interview
with him.

~ The State treasury is indeed bankrupt
and that Democratic campaign "ie" proves
to be true. To keep pace with the Repub-
llican extravaganza the State Auditor has
been compelled to again call upon county
auditors for an advance. The Republican
State Treasurer simply lied when he sent out
his statement that there was $500,0O0 in the
treasury, in the face of the fact from Audi
tor Keisewetter that the treasury was bank
rupt. Now that election is over these
rascally Republican ofice-hoiders admit
that they deceived the people.

~ The recent episode in Southern
church when prominent actress rose and
replied to some sweeping condemnations Of
the stage made by the minister in her pre-
sence, has awakened discussion again on the
relations between thepulpit and the dramatic
profession. It is well known that there are
many men and women of as pure lives and
character, who earn their living upon the
stage and do their part to elevate, refine and
entertain mankind as are foand in other
walks of life.

~ The early protectionists made no pre-
tence ofprotecting labor. That cry was the
device of demagogues. The manufacturer is
the person protected, and the only person.
What ever protection labor gets it has to
strike for Tariffs have no greater effect
upon the current rate Of wages than they
have upon the condition of the weather. The
price men get for their work depends, like
the price Of other commodities, upon the
demand for it and the largeness of supply.

"a It is stated in the Panama Canal
Company's official bulletin, as quoted by the
Panama Star and Herald, that the excava-
ton for the month of July ton the canal
proper" amounted to $4,000 cubic meters,
1900 of which represent the work done in
the Culebra section. Ttis section includes
the highest elevation, and is the most for
midable of all the divisions. But at this rate
the completion of the canal will require more
than the nineteen years. Millions of dollars
more will be needed.

~ Women drown quicker than men, and
life-savers of the sea-beach say they are
harder to save. They are harder to save,
because they invariably clutchfor rescuer's
hands, and cling to them as long as they can.
Their clutch, too, is tighter than that Of a
man. The reason they drown quicker is they
keep their mouth open when they are under
water, thus allowing their lungs to be filed,
and they are not so strong Is men.

Physicians unite in advising that drinking

heretofore been supposed to be pure water,
